Running 42:00 [3] 9.0 km (4:40 / km)
Mainly in the dark from home, up Farrer Ridge and back on the fire trail round the back of Torrens. Enjoyed it and felt quite good - a good alternative option for me if not feeling like Taylor.

Running 45:00 [3] 9.0 km (5:00 / km)
HFW via Davo and O'Malley. Spiked the bridge across Yamba Drive this time. Eventful section in Red Hill where I bumped into a mountain biker who'd come off her bike and broken a rib (or two) and was lying on the grass in some pain. Her boyfriend was off calling an ambo but she hadn't seen him for 20mins, so I called him on my mobile for an update and waited with her til he came back.

HFW via top of Davo then side of Isaacs and Farrer Ridges. Cracker route and loads of options to extend and add in climb. Just requires motivation...

Quick blast from home up Mt Taylor. It is about 230m climb and took 16mins via southern path. Gentler back home.

Orienteering race (ACT Middle Champs) 40:30 [4] 6.5 km (6:14 / km)
Orroral Crossing - just snuck the victory. Very rusty physically - almost like I hadn't run much for about a month. Funny that. But nav was ok mainly - a couple of small misses and one 1.5min mistake. The course was a bit odd, but it was a really fun area to run around.
Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)

Running 45:00 [3] 9.0 km (5:00 / km)
Got a day of special leave due to moving house so, having supervised the carpet cleaning at the old flat, went back to the new house and did my first run from home - anti-clockwise loop of Mt Taylor, followed by an assent up the wiggly path from the south. Man, it makes Davo look like a dot knoll in comparison - over the next few months I'll either get very good at hills or very good at avoiding them. Good views from the top, including of our house. Then down and back to the old flat for an afternoon of cleaning the bathroom and kitchen.

Well that was better than my last job - managed 2.5years before a merger was announced this time. Hope it won't mean another relocation.

The waiter who asked if I was from 'England or Australia or something': insightful or ignorant?
1 PM
Running 1:23:00 [2] 15.0 km (5:32 / km)
Terrible night's sleep followed by an interesting meeting about the ACA (Obamacare) with a health policy actuary, then a mandatory jet lag nap, then a forced, laboured but enjoyable slow long run out to Rock Creek Park. Bit of a slog to get there, but nice beech forest (like a very large Eccy Woods minus the holly) when I did. Met a chipmunk and a deer. Very hot day - screwed by the time I got back to the hotel.

Running 43:00 [2] 7.0 km (6:09 / km)
Spent most of the day walking along the mall checking out the White House, the Washington monument, the natural history museum, the national gallery, the Capitol, the national garden and the air and space museum. Very cool - time flew by. Then decided to go back to the hotel and take in the rest of the main attractions with a jog, so ran around the tidal basin to the Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln memorials and also saw the Potomac River. The run itself was blighted by stomach upsets and sore and tired legs, but that wasn't really the point.
